Yeah I agree...I love it how the camera first shows the Normandy coming in from space and getting close to the relay that’s the sweet spot...it shows the relationship between the Normandy and the mass relay..and notice the camera gets up slightly close and zooms out as the Normandy plunges into FTL speeds...
Every time I play Mass Effect, I think about how awesome it would be to use a Mass Relay while floating in nothing more than a spacesuit. And even better, use the Conduit to dive into the Presidium pools from across the galaxy.
The first one from ME1 is by far the best. The build up is really strong and intense with an electrifying and futuristic kind of sound. Then when the actual jump happens, the jump is a really strong bass boosted sonic boom as I expected it to be after hearing the build up. And as an extra added bonus towards the end, you can slightly hear the echo of the boom sound as if it was an after effect/shock of the sonic boom. The second one from ME2 is the worst. The build up isn't as loud or intense as the first one followed by the jump which was really weak. The third one from ME3 is slightly better than the second, but still not as good as the first. The build up is a little more stronger and does have a slight electrifying sound just like the first one. The jump is a little stronger too, but not by much. So therefore... ME1 jump>ME3 jump>ME2 jump!
This is awesome, with the recent concept of laser propelled space travel the Mass Relays almost make sense.. like the ball of light produces light, and the bolt it shoots at passing ships is the force of light that it uses to propel ships for interstellar travel..
+Declan Graham The mass relays work by 'crunching' the space between two relays, essentially ferrying the ship to the other spot in space. The ship never actually moves beyond it's regular flying
I love the sound of the 1st when the Mass Relay sends the ship: There's something unique about it that drives home the point so well that the ship is being sent at tremendous speeds. In 2, that falls apart, in 3, it just isn't there at all, and when the the eclectic arc connnects to the ship, it makes a mechanical like "Clang" or "thud". Doesn't fit electric arcs that well.
The first one is so much more effective at conveying the idea that these mass relays are incredibly huge, powerful slingshots basically. It is the loudest, has the most bass and the most suspense/buildup and most importantly, they stay on the shot of the mass relay for over 5 seconds while the bass slowly goes down and the screen fades out. The third one is the worst to me because it has buildup but it is very short and quiet, then we get less than 2 seconds of the actual relay launch sound and the screen fades off the shot of the whole relay in less than a second. It is quick and quiet and makes them seem much less of a powerful force than they are. The second one is just a mix of the first and third one.
to this day, i dont understand how they made andromeda and fail to have the ship in the sequence, even without the relay, its so rewarding to see the ship starting to boost the engines and jump. even moving in andromeda is bad when you are in space. happy to play the legendary edition in may when it comes out.
@@ussbased-a7074 That would be the Protheons but they didn't create the Mass Relay, everyone like to think they did, but the truth is alot more darker.
While I like the feel of the third, it can get a bit tedious after a while compared to ME 1 and 2s short but sweet versions. Yes, I also like the ME 2 Relay Jump
I prefer the sound effect of the second and third game's mass relays, but the first's cutscene style is waaay better. Although, I wish that the epic chargin-up noise the ME 2 and 3 relays make led to something slightly more dramatic (i.e. the way ME 1 relays behaved) than just that anticlimactic "thwup youre gone" thing.
Hi... this is my first Mass Relay jump... all my friends say it's fun... I think I'm going to like it because it looks like it's -ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! (meanwhile at the opposite Relay) ......... ahhhhhhhhhhHHHHHHH!!!!! (drops out) ... What just happened?! I seen a lot of blue! It felt like I got mind-raped by an asari! My life flashed before my eyes! ... That was awesome! ... Let's do it again.
If there is a Actual Mass Effect 4 The Mass Relay animation should the first few seconds getting to it like 3 but with the launching sound and animation like 1 with the updated graphics
1 and 3 are annoyingly loud and go on too long to the point of being annoying if you're travelling around a lot. Just in terms of style/sound though 2 is easily the weakest and 1 is the best.
I like the second one the best, not because it looks the best, but it's quicker. Seeing as we travel a lot the whole scene just becomes an inconvenience but I guess it's there to emphasise the importance of the relays. Huh. This makes me wonder how we're going to travel around in Andromeda. I know we're just in a small bit of Andromeda but there is still a lot apparently and considering there might not be any mass relays I wonder how that'll go. Nebulas are pretty far from each other.
General Maul I've seen a relay on the galaxy of mass effect andromeda in the recent exploration video.Apparently the species of the galaxy made their own too
True, I expected to be playing for hours trying to get some of the side missions done. xD I missed harbinger also. :( SHEPHERD! YOU COULD OF BEEN USEFUL.
i dont like the mass relays in mass effect. idk i think its just the look. and i feel like the citadel should have been a lot bigger and godly looking. hers what i would have done. scrap the relays, and replace them with citadels, but still have the mass effect engine on the presidium. and scrap the regular citadel, and replace it with a smaller version of the ark from halo. that would be cool :) and yes i love mass effect, and no im not bashing it. i just like experimenting :)
yea i know, mass effect 1 took me bout a week and a half, me2 with all dlc takes me bout a week and a half, i finished me3 in 3 days, i love the game its fantastic but it just lacked the meat that the others had, and the ending was shite, from what i heard the dark nergy ending sounds like it wud have been a good one
+Maarten Pennings A Mass Relay connects to another mass relay, and then brings that area of space to the other. IE it manipulates space and 'brings' the other mass relay to you, essentially sending you to another point in space almost instantly.
it basically allows hyperspace jump between one side of the galaxy to another, but only to another mass relay that is active...the games codex says: When subjected to an electrical current, the rare material dubbed element zero, or "Eezo,' emits a dark energy field that raises or lowers the mass of all objects within it. Mass Relays uses this mass effect to make ships weightless and travel from one system to another, through faster than light travel ;)
Crimson - Lazengann Exactly, weight is in definition resistance to movement and if you have 0 or negative weight, wonders happen. That's why huge Reapers can safely land within gravity without being crushed.
Mass effect 3 is amazing? 1's combat and shooting sucked, and when you ran you look like a paper doll 2's combat was good and stuff, but it made no sense your life could regenerate. lol Krogan human??? 3's combat was amazing. Just everything after the "GET TO DA BEAM" run was pure shit. God child my ass.
I prefer the cinematography of the third with the sounds of the first. :)
Yes..
Holy heck I didn't realise I had commented on most of TH-cam lmao
Agreed. Welcome to 2022, it all went to shit
Absolutely
I like the camera angle of the third one when the Normandy approaches it
Yeah I agree...I love it how the camera first shows the Normandy coming in from space and getting close to the relay that’s the sweet spot...it shows the relationship between the Normandy and the mass relay..and notice the camera gets up slightly close and zooms out as the Normandy plunges into FTL speeds...
The first one will always be the best. The bass used to make my house shake.
Every time I play Mass Effect, I think about how awesome it would be to use a Mass Relay while floating in nothing more than a spacesuit.
And even better, use the Conduit to dive into the Presidium pools from across the galaxy.
The original Mass Effect relay sounds were by far the best, don't know why they would change them
***** lol true that, good thing it's a game then :-)
Nemesis1024 Its a bit irritating to the ears after many uses due to its longer and louder sound effect.
A little too intense of a sound the first one is
why am I stuck on earth, gotta find myself some relays
Mass Effect 1 had the best one. That bass. Sounds the most "spacey" too and not like a big shotgun blast.
I like the charge up sound and suspense of the first one, but the actual launch sound of the third is my favorite.
To be honest, I cannot watch mass relay jumps without mimicking the sounds with my voice too.
The first one from ME1 is by far the best. The build up is really strong and intense with an electrifying and futuristic kind of sound. Then when the actual jump happens, the jump is a really strong bass boosted sonic boom as I expected it to be after hearing the build up.

The build up is a little more stronger and does have a slight electrifying sound just like the first one. The jump is a little stronger too, but not by much. So therefore...
ME1 jump>ME3 jump>ME2 jump!
That's pretty much the ranking I'd give the games as well: 1>3>2
Every time I use the relay I try to match my head turn with the sonic boom. Childish but makes me happy….zoooooom from left to right
The screen that made my ear go "eeeeeeeeee" multiple times
I love that mass effect's method of interstellar travel is just "YEET"
Decrease mass then yeet
Basically. It decreases a ship's mass then slingshots it to another active relay

I prefer ME 1 version, but after some time it's become annoying for me.
I agree. The relay jumps in ME1 were much more dramatic than 2 & 3.
Me1 will always be the best. That thunderous sound is so good
The bass in ME1's mass relay is still amazing
0:02 Elegance 💪😎🤩
looks like something the forruners built
Datboi 123 I think it was made by their version of the forerunners

the beam gets thinner and thinner o.O
I like the first one the most.
First one has best sound effect. It's not even a contest.
I never noticed how "reaper" the first sound was, until now. 🤷♂️
I only liked the 3rd one because it is loud for my tv from the console and thats it
Hurts my ear everytime I go through those relay
ME3 was my favorite, especially the sound it makes
Actually, when the ship is finally sent off, it uses the laser sound effect from V.
First is best, second is worst.
While I like the feel of the third, it can get a bit tedious after a while compared to ME 1 and 2s short but sweet versions.
Yes, I also like the ME 2 Relay Jump
The third have the best visual but the first have a better audio
What if we turned the mass relays into mass guns and used them to fight the reapers
i prefer the mass effect 1 jump animation,mainly because it make the "big push sound" that the mass relays make on mass effect 2 and mass effect 3
2 had the best one, only because it was the quickest and wasn't annoyingly loud lmao.

The mass effect 1 effect is the best
Does the ME 1 Mass relay sound like a Red Alert Chronosphere to anyone else?
And I thought it was something like planet destroyer. XD
ME1=best. The ME2 one is as good as nothing.
how does even relays make sound in space? is there something like atmosphere around them??

No. You're probably mistaking it for an ark.

SHEPHERD! YOU COULD OF BEEN USEFUL.
My ME3 doesn't go all deaf with mass relays, did Bioware changed the volume? Even this video seems to be louder and now my ears are hurting.
Third one's the best
mass of relay is grater then shepherd ship.
I know what you mean the ME1 is the best
ME2 is the best
Me1 clears them all
The bass(like a thunder sound) that used to shook the whole house
ME2 is the weakest even the graphic seems off

The made it shorter for ME2 and ME3 that's why you think it's not as good.
what does the mass relay actually do? i mean it's 15000 meters long so it must have a good purpuse right

Why are they so goddamn loud?
0:04?
mass effect 3 is still a great game man, just the last 10 mins suck, well that and game length, it anit long enough
The last two sound similar but are terrible in comparison to the first one. Everything (except gameplay) went downhill after ME2.
ME2 is the best because of its short duration
Yeah ME1's is better.
Mass effect 3 is amazing?
1's combat and shooting sucked, and when you ran you look like a paper doll
2's combat was good and stuff, but it made no sense your life could regenerate. lol Krogan human???
3's combat was amazing. Just everything after the "GET TO DA BEAM" run was pure shit. God child my ass.
I dont play for combat I play for story
Not much of a difference, to be honest.
ME3 did it best. Idc
